Epimenides paradox
text:
The Epimenides paradox reveals a problem with self-reference in logic. It is named after the Cretan philosopher Epimenides of Knossos who is credited with the original statement. A typical description of the problem is given in the book Gödel, Escher, Bach, by Douglas Hofstadter: A paradox of self-reference arises when one considers whether it is possible for Epimenides to have spoken the truth.
